100% this and exactly what I just did for my 16 y/o daughter. I wanted reliable, safe small-mid size SUV (we are in Colorado) that had some of the safety stuff like BSM. Also cheap to insure was super important as rates for teens as everyone knows is crazy....2018 RAV4 was the answer. Also considered CX5 but we have other Toyotas and we have used same shop for 10+ yrs for repairs I dont do myself so wanted to just keep things consistent and easy on that front.
